Crouching Scribe molding. - Lot 11
Crouching Scribe molding. Hand-patinated reproduction. Mould made from an impression of the original work on display in the Louvre. Crouching Scribe, 4th or 5th dynasty, 2600-2350. Paris, Louvre Museum. Original in polychrome limestone This scribe owes its fame to its realism, accentuated by the good preservation of its polychromy, and to the mystery surrounding its discovery. But it's above all his gaze that fascinates: encrusted with rock crystal, his eyes possess an astonishing power of life. The particular care taken with this sculpture suggests that it belonged to a very high dignitary of the Old Kingdom. Dimensions: 23 x 19 x 16 cm
